Store lamb numbers were low and forward types sold up to $135-$150, though medium lines eased to $130-$135. Strong interest for a small yarding of ewes with lambs-at-foot meant good results were posted.
Prime lambs made steady returns and the feature of the yarding was heavy Charolais ram lambs at $191. Other heavy lambs sold to $170, with medium types steady at $160-$170, and lighter, $150-$160. The ewe market eased and the selection was more medium –light types. The top lines made $160-$168, while medium types eased to $125-$160, and light, $110-$125. Tail end lines made $45-$80.
Demand was not as strong for store cattle as the last sale. Two-year beef-cross heifers, 320-415kg, sold for $2.60-$2.80/kg to be the standout in the older pens. One-year Friesian bulls, 250-300kg, made very similar values as the older heifers at $2.70-$2.80/kg.
